Root I need help

Well... I saw there was a software update for the OV and decided to recover to my stock rom and unroot at that point. Tried to install the update and it aborted and now my phone only boots to clockworkmod recovery screen. I don't know if I have root and I can't mount usb drivers or anything like that. Help?! :(
 
Put your sd card in your computer. Download Harmonia 2.5 and put it on the sd card. Download xionia_cwma_12518.6_vm_recovery-signed.zip and put on your sd card. Put sd card back in phone and in recovery choose install zip from sd card and install the xionia recovery. There is an option in that recovery, I think in advanced but I not sure, to fix a boot loop.

If the phone reboots when you install xionia and goes back to the CWM recovery, install the Harmonia 2.5 ROM, and install xionia. You should be able to get to your home screen and see if you have superuser. If not you'll have to try and use gingerbreak to root again and then use flash_image.apk to flash a recovery.

This all depends on how much, if any, the update screwed up your phone before it aborted. From what I've read the update removes root and there isn't a way to root again until the devs come up with something else. Since yours aborted maybe it didn't get that far.
